[@hunterharmon8879]

Finally something old that will be a great build

[@biggchase69]

Older trucks/cars are a LOT simpler than today's trucks, not a whole lot of computer diagnostics or nannies, so it'll also get you in trouble because there's no nannies that you're use to. But don't go to crazy (motor wise) you'll be absolutely fine.

[@maxdec3960]

@@biggchase69 not really at least in my first gen. When I had issues it was mostly mechanical and electrical issues are usually a lot easier to diagnose.

You should do the 1st gen Root beer brown and a cream 2 tone! Would look amazing!!

Do a flat bed build!!!! It would look so sick 🔥🔥🔥

[@lbhamlo]

I had a 1990 D-350 dually, that thing was a cream puff! Drove hard when under no load, but hook up a trailer with some weight on it, she rode like a Cadillac. Easy to work on, added some bells and whistles to it without any problems, traded it in in 1994 when Dodge came out with the first new RAM models. Miss my old D-350.

[@ad1011000]

Lol I never noticed how close your seat be to the steering wheel bruh 😂. ..sick 1st gen though

[@kenhill5713]

Yeah, his knees are an inch from the dash. That’s understandable if he’s 6’8” tall.

[@ArdisticCustoms]

4WD conversion, convert to short bed, lifted, 38’s on 17’s, painted the Jeep Gobi color. That would be my vision. Keep up the great work Ryan!!

Facts lol

[@dylancheek541]

I just bought a first gen 4x4 as my first truck about 2 months ago off of a farm with the clutch out of it. The wait to start light is on the dash above the radio in the second white box from the bottom. To make the steering way better get a borgeson steering shaft and rag joint and ged a redhead steering box. That should help a lot and you could also do crossover steering which a lot of companies make that but I would get it from farfromstock. Farfromstock also has an airbag kit with I think 14 inches of travel but you have to switch axles to a 3rd gen.

[@kevinrobinson1422]

yo Ryan go check greg_alberalla old video on his fist gen to maybe learn something from him about the truck hope it helps

[@christophermowry2975]

Paint the first Gen a plum crazy purple and black it out awe that would be a beast! Nothing better than a 1st generation 12 valve Cummins. Can't wait to see this build

[@christophermowry2975]

As well as do a manual swap

[@dylanchasm3071]

I'm always 12 to 14 minutes late like every time!

[@sleddingfarmer8692]

It definitely needs a manual swap. Ditch the stack. There's something about a clean mint restored 1st gen. Small lift, 35" tires, HD bumpers with decent grill guard. Clean and simple

[@randyschaefer3777]

I don't know if you are having this issue or not but since you have to keep jumping it I figured I tell you that those trucks have common charging problem. They have a computer, it doesn't control much but it does keep it from charging. I had to take mine and get it rebuilt and it took care of the problem. Excited to see what you do with it. I love the videos, keep up the good work!

[@brotherhoodofram8967]

I would do a tow rig with it Twin turbos dually swap the rear end and I would swap a manual into it and do a dope ass two tone paint job (black and orange) on it definitely keep the mirrors as is

[@taylorearthworks8460]

That truck needs to be a lowered dually with a heavily built motor. Pushing 1200 horsepower with twin turbos. And manual swapped.

[@colehubbard5994]

I'd love to see a retro light blue with like a cream white two tone

[@bradhughes4867]

I have enjoyed watching you build all of these trucks. I have learned a ton of things and been inspired by you greatly. I am in my 40's and being inspired by you is a little backward I think, lol! I should be inspiring you. The only difference between new vehicles and old vehicles is electronics. The new ones you have to acct for all the sensors and junk that they out on them. The older vehicles is pretty much grab a wrench and get to work. Another difference is, to work the new ones you better have metric tools as I have found out on 2016 ecodiesel Build. I was running to harbor freight everyday when I did my 6 inch lift, lol! Keep it up, man, can't wait to see where this 1st gen goes!

[@poweramgregg4803]

Steering stabilizer , redhead gearbox and biggest thing of all the borgeson steering shaft. Love the new project!

[@heythere1115]

Green with the lime, lemon with the banana ram, orange with the copper...gotta get that grapefruit my man and round out the citrus grove and go with a pink! Pink with green accents is always a solid combo 😍

[@danewilson9568]

He said you get in your brand new truck in ‘92 and it’s super loud, but it literally has a stack 6 inches behind the cab 😂

[@medicalfrog_78]

Old Skool time. Sweet! Building a 1986 El Camino... this one will teach you patience like you never knew you had! LMAO.

[@seankelly9219]

Since that 1st gen is a vintage truck I think you should use a vintage color, I believe Mopar had a great looking blue back in the day EB5 paint code with maybe a flat black hood. Low and wide, twin turbo, and maybe a hood stack.

[@martybashynski2433]

Flatbed and lifted with dually conversion 💪🏻

[@johnnyallenyork]

Hey my guy! If you can the diesel king, specifically for 12v’s is “V-belt and son” this guy will set you straight! Definitely take care of the killer Dow pin, there should be a gear under the dash for your indicator to move the needle where you want it.

[@DavidWilliams-ii6ik]

Pearl white and brown two tone that would really bring flare and OG look but a little modern to the truck. I love that truck

[@ChrisDavis333]

I fuck with it, 3M has some cool 2080 series vinyl wraps, you should check out Matte Brown Metallic, Matte Indigo, Matte Charcoal Metallic and Matte Slate Blue Metallic. Those are the colors I like for this truck. One of those or if you must paint it, go for a deep Navy color, I’m sure there’s a candy midnight navy color or something. I’m stoked for this build actually, it’s something different.

[@michaelfellers8679]

Man you need to go all in with this build. Forget any other plans. This will bring the content people wanna see, and the views will go crazy!

[@andrewbishop9115]

Love the new build!!! Make it wide and modernize the suspension air ride or king coil-overs preferred! Make it candy green or a sage color! Then run (Aaron crown series triumphs) 22 x 14 -81. I’d try to get them in chrome btw. P.s. you could run the same set up wheel tire and suspension and do something patina for the paint job! 💯 That is my thought! Killer build though, super stoked. Let’s go!!

[@l.n.d9147]

Bro I swear I love first gens I can’t wait until I’m older to get one it’s my dream truck

[@dawsongarbett4856]

I have a 1990 d250, you wait for the fuel pump too stop humming and you can start. I also don’t think there’s a two battery option. And make sure too get the killer dowel pin done! If you don’t you will blow that motor with twin turbos or triple!

[@PAOff-roadAdventures]

Ryan whatever color you decide to paint it, i think you should do a diy in your own shop how to paint a truck. it would be awesome to see for those of us who cant take it to a paint shop and pay 10k for a paint shop and wana do it ourselves in our garages. and maybe wetsanding/buffing steps aswell? idk maybe im the only one would would enjoy that

[@nashjones2867]

Midnight blue would looks nice on the first gen I think.

[@kadenlopez1155]

Ryan keep it classic! Like a two tone ! Or three ( top black, red line separating it. Then silver bottom ) that would look amazing !

[@eltr72]

Great choice for a new build...what about a nice pearl titanium gray color blend with chrome wheels?🤔...I think a grey tone would be a bad ass addition to your Ram family...

[@brendonmiller7013]

Alright. So Ryan, hear me out! 1 ton dually conversion slammed on bags with baby blue paint!!! 🥵🥵🔥 No matter what you decide to do with it, I’m sure it will have the signature Ryan Mayer “let’s do something nobody has seen before and absolutely kill it!!!!” I can’t wait to see what you have planned for this truck!

[@RickJames-hy3wb]

Nice truck I love the old schools they look and sound so good.

[@haydenhenson2417]

The ram blue would look sick on that truck and a 4th gen Laramie bench would be dope too

[@brittonseay2639]

Do a flatbed and put the stack that is on there on the flatbed, dually swap it, make it the tow rig, then a big ole trailer and tow both those show trucks

[@mikethomson2390]

Never to many rams. I work on them daily. Did the similar thing to my 4th gen 1500 that you did with the yellow interior upgraded from tradesman to a big horn and traded it in for my 5th gen big horn 1500. All of yours looking good

[@shawnducote6071]

I think a metallic blue raptor liner would look good on the whole truck plus it’d hide some of the defects in the body

[@construction_brexb.75]

Ok so hear me out. In 92 they had Banzai Blue Metallic as an original color. Being you like the non standard color choices, play off the original color choice. However, I say throw it up a notch. Go with something like: iced blue metallic, asiatic blue, cobalt blue over silver. Now here’s where it gets interesting....add some stripping! The stripping scheme to be something like candy apple green metallic or sour apple green metallic. Maybe some pearl colored wheels? 🤪

[@ajaidelaney4201]

This is perfect i just got a 1990 single cab 3500 gmc that i need to fix most of the stuff your going to fix on that cummins cant wait for this build to begin

[@kdbl007]

Call up Power Driven Diesel...they’re the go to on 12v knowledge. Gonna have to get rid of the VE and swap in a Ppump and some new injectors. And they only need 1 battery because almost everything on the truck is mechanical...dash and lights are the only things using the battery

[@michaelrivell5659]

Two tone. Bottom half 1 color top half another color. Candy blue and metallic silerish blue. Order a metallic silverfish green and a dark candy forest green. Or that classic candy reddish-brown and tan

[@jasonwells7246]

Ryan remember the purple Chevy truck bed brother??? We all know you can do a body panel. Just get a new bed and save the time and headache. Better do something with the Cobra soon.

[@ashtonkessler1479]

I think the candy green would look nice on the truck but how about like a deep metallic blue with the blacked out chrome or even with chrome would be clean

[@prestoisakilla813]

you should restore/ build out a bad ass version of each generation of every cummins ram they made! id be super stoked to see what you could do to a nice Gen 2/3

[@krytiqll]

I’d go with the old stock gasser mirrors. Look up 1st gen Cummins builds and you’ll see exactly what I mean. Looks very clean with them!

[@ervinnez6713]

Old truck be a cool built. Good luck with it...nice 92 D250...right on 12 valve...👍

[@garymiller652]

You just hook the second battery up to the first one. Positive to positive negative to negative. That’s how to hook it up 12v.

[@dmilburn39]

No we are talking!! Decent garage KZbin channel has a lot of good info on fixes for these old trucks. And check out farfromstock for some good aftermarket products.

[@donaldstark9067]

That cotton candy blue you saw in that jeep the other day would go with the fleet 😂😂

[@aidanhighers8269]

Rapid blue or like bright orange with a smoke stack out the hood !!

Hit up that blue that you spotted the other day. Badass blue to keep the awesome colors going.

[@bradleyotto6289]

I think a baby blue would be so nice and classy for the new product truck

[@05BlackRado]

I think do a spin off of an older color combo. I believe they had a blue / grey two tone back in the day so maybe like someone said illusion blueberry and a battleship grey color combo would look sick

[@broganstucky1682]

Good choice on the new truck type

[@redbeardfred8561]

I know you like bright colors but the challenger destroyer grey with a bright powdered suspension would look awesome... or a root beer candy would look good as well...

[@brandonherring2969]

Please just do a clean build. Nothing flashy. No starlight head liners. Good paint. Nice stance. Clean interior and some small performance mods, then done

[@TWET5959]

If only you were closer to nebraska, I’ve got a Buddy with 28 1g’s. So you’d have parts readily available lol. Side note: still killin it my guy, keep it up! 🤙🏼

[@Boobienoobie147]

The gear on the dash is easy, there is a string the attaches to the shifter behind the dash it's self it's located just above the steering column

[@hatorade47]
